| What is your favorite event?
Why? |

Beam, because I feel the
most confident and expressive. |

Combination of athletics,
academics, and family members attending |

you from the other 30,000 students. |

| What has been your
most memorable (non-gymnastics) moment at
U-M? |
|
Anytime we are all together

| What inspires you to keep
going after a disappointing meet or a tough
week of practice? |
|
The whole picture of gymnastics,
looking it at as a single day/week out of
the many chances you get. |
| What advice would you share
with up-and-coming gymnasts who aspire to
be like you or one of your teammates? |
|
If you love it you’ll
know and push through the hard times. If you
don’t, find where your heart belongs
and don’t make yourself do it. |
